What a great little video. The birds are moving about and feeding just like wild birds. Such an achievement to get them this far. You keep on adapting and improving their accommodation - it looks great. Saw a couple of excellent presentations by Rob Sheldon on Spoon-billed Sands and the East Asian-Autralasian Flyway at the Oriental Bird Club Winter Meeting/AGM. Lots of positive news on conservation breeding and head-starting. I especially liked the graphic that showed the positive effect on recruitment of reducing hunting + headstarting. As Rob said, work on the stopover sites is less sexy but just as crucial.
Thanks for the update - looking good!
